NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK – May 28th, 2018 – With the slogan “Let Freedom Ring”, Marye Dean, Esq. (@TheWallStreetLawyer), Founder of The Dean Law Firm, PLLC, is pleased to announce that her firm will host the Inaugural Juneteenth Celebration on Wall Street. Juneteenth is a holiday that “signifies the actual freedom of the last slave in America”, and takes place on June 19th of each year in commemoration of the freedom speech given by Gen. Gordon Granger on June 19th, 1865 during which he proclaimed the total freedom of all slaves. One heir to the tradition is quoted in Hayes Turner’s essay stating, “the 19th of June wasn’t the exact day the Negro was freed. But that’s the day they told them that they was free…” And that day occurred more than two years after the civil war.

Marye Dean, Esq. has long been a champion of social justice, having served for several years in the public sector, as well as a public interest lawyer for Aid to Victims of Domestic Abuse (AVDA). Currently heading The Dean Law Firm and working as corporate counsel for various individuals and business entities, Ms. Dean, Esq. has decided to use her clout on Wall Street to rally for economic equality through entrepreneurship, and to push for the recognition and celebration of important Black History milestones in America.

The Inaugural Juneteenth Celebration on Wall Street will bring attention to the three-year anniversary of the plaque dedication made by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, Parks Commissioner Mitchell J. Silver, FAICP, and Council Member Jumaane Williams which marked Wall Street as the location of the first slave market in the United States of America. Furthermore, the event will bring together fledgling and seasoned entrepreneurs who share The Dean Law Firm’s vision of building black businesses to enhance the economic opportunities available to African-Americans, in what is expected to be a one-of-a-kind networking opportunity in the financial capital of the world.

“My life’s mission is to help fight for economic equality. I fulfill my mission through The Dean Law Firm by Building Big Business One Client at a Time,” said The Wall Street Lawyer. “I firmly believe economic equality is the final frontier of social justice. I champion entrepreneurship because it drives everything; job creation, poverty alleviation, and national innovation. I am inviting all those working for a better future tomorrow to join us TODAY in a celebration that should have begun a long time ago; one that we pledge to continue for many years to come: that of Juneteenth.”
